Unroll the Scroll (Scholar’s Compass)

June 19, 2016 by Clint Bryan No Comments

No, the king is not responding to another rejected journal article submission or to a reminder about his impending student loan payment. He is not unfurling the scroll version of the Chronicle of Higher Education decrying the lack of jobs for PhDs in the Humanities in the 8th century B.C.E.

Book Review: Playing God, by Andy Crouch

April 22, 2016 by Bob Trube No Comments

I think many of us have developed our understanding of power from Lord Acton’s axiom: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. For most of us, that is the end of story and this accounts, at least among many Christians I know, for a deep aversion to anything like the exercise of power.

December 13, 2012 by Charlie Clauss 1 Comment

John the Baptist

It makes sense to speak of John in Advent. John the Baptist is the one we know is coming to “prepare the way.”
